Parallel Love - Milda Misevicius

. .

Résumé :
Parallel Love is a fictionalized love story. A tragic one. An intriguing rags to riches saga with compelling characters and multiple, complicated relationships. Two woman love the same man. But most certainly not in the same way. One is his wife. The other is his mistress. When Michael meets Magdalena for the first time something in him changed. Their love was instantaneous. Never before had Michael cheated on Judy, even though he had ample opportunity. It was a shift that Judy defected, but refused to acknowledge. Magdalena was beautiful, smart, sophisticated, worldly and above all, lovely. Compared to Magdalena, Judy was lacking in all areas of sophistication and social graces - on the outside, as well as, the inside. Magdalena was irresistible. As the love deepens between Magdalena and Michael, Judy's world crashes. To help cope with her failing marriage, Judy resorts to alcohol and becomes addicted to barbiturates. In her relentless pursuits of keeping Michael, she also schemes a blotched suicide attempt and a bumbled plot to murder her arch enemy, Magdalena. - Milda Misevicius' Parallel Love is a debut novel built around hopeful longing, frustration, and adoration. Here, Michael is pulled between his loyalty to his unhappy marriage and family and his profound love for Magdalena. The story plays out against a backdrop of fashion, travel, and art that is as hypnotic as the plot itself. This is a unique tale of two women on a collision course and the forces that drive them; prepare for a rollercoaster of a ride. It will leave you breathless! - Kyle McCord, Editor
